Following a year filled with countless, and often vulgar, anti-Trump proclamations, Gale McCray's simple sign featuring a saying he grew up hearing as a child in Lawton, Oklahoma, was one of the most popular this year.

McCray created the simple sign featuring the phrase "Trump That Boy Don't Act Right" in February out of frustration with Trump's administration, he told Chron.com Wednesday morning.

"I knew I had to do something," McCray said. "If it was a regular Republican, I wouldn't be doing this. Trump is out there."
